25C 5000 Neu vs 35C 8400 Maxamps

[e-mike]

normal to see this temp difference....8400mah(me too i tink that the maxamp are 20-25c)vs 5000mah 25c



so even at 25c the maxamps give 200amps and the neu give 125 amps contiously....

125 amps is a bit close IMO to what the xl can pull under load. I think the 6000 enerland cells would be a better choice for 4s useage in a heavier truck. My trakpower lipos in the erevo with a 1515 1.5d were about on the edge performance wise, but that truck was geared for 50mph.

4s setups in Mt are really not such a great idea. 5-6s works much better and open up battery choice quite a bit. Plus the lower kv (1500-1600) motors do run cooler with the same over gearing than 4s does.

It gets interesting when you have an erevo and an emaxx with 2200Kv and 8xl respectively. the same batts dont fit in both trucks. i am shooting for
30-45 mins of cool running racing. i have found that in the erevo with the 2200 on 6S zippys nothing is getting hot now after 30 mins FINALLY a setup that is perfect.

For the emaxx the 8400's run great and the weight is fine and they have a 3 year warranty if they puff. this is the first maxamps battery ive run in the maxx that didnt get very warm and puff. well see how they last over time.

i was just surprised to see the well regarded neu get pretty warm - i thought they would run cool. hopefully this wont end their life early. i can also run them in the revo.

I'm facing an odd dilema. My new Flux is way too fast on 6S, so I NEED to buy some 2S packs to use in it. I'd like to buy made in the USA products, but as far as I know, Maxamps and Neu are the only choices, correct? And with Neu, the most MAH I can get is about 5100 in a 2S pack. I've pretty much ruled out Maxamps. Any suggestions for a better pack than the Neu 5100's that's U.S. made? Trying to stimulate the economy here!!
